Coach Jill Helsel's quote: "She played a complete game against CD East. She rebounded well offensively and went strong to the basket. She led the team, I thought, very well. Overall, I think she's handled everything well so far this season. Teams are keying on her, and she's figured out how to get her points and rebounds in a different way than last year.''
